# Will Rhode Island take my home state license for an out of state DUI?

Rhode Island does not physically suspend a license issued by another state. However, the Rhode Island administrative suspension applies to your driving privileges within Rhode Island. The home state DMV separately suspends your home-state license based on the Rhode Island conviction through the Driver License Compact.
